The Bayonne Breakers Youth Travel Basketball Program 2013-2014 season is underway. This travel basketball program is for the young female athletes of Bayonne and is open to Bayonne residents in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. This program provides a forum for players to advance their game beyond the traditional leagues in preparation for AAU and high-school programs by competing against highly competitive out-of-town teams. Participants in the program learn how to schedule schoolwork, home commitments, and practices and learn the value of teamwork. Players from the travel program have gone on to play on various AAU teams and at Bayonne High School, Holy Family Academy, St. Dominic’s Academy, and Marist High School.

Our girls play in the Garden State League and travel to cities in northern and central New Jersey. The Garden State League has been in existence for well over 20 years and this season will have many teams competing for the League Championship. Last year Bayonne Breakers entered two teams (Junior Varsity and Varsity team). The League begins the first week of December 2013 and concludes with playoffs in March 2014.

The Bayonne Breakers will be hosting a two-day tryout for girls in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.

Tryouts will be held at Bayonne High School Ice Rink Gym on October 5 and 6.
